What does it mean to be tech-savvy?  Is it creating a macro in Excel?  Is it even knowing what a macro IS in Excel?  IT ISN’T!  

Being tech-savvy is an attitude – a willingness to learn and grow while using technology.  When we hear “I’m not tech-savvy”, all we hear is “I’ve pretty much given up on life and am not willing to learn anything new”.  

When faced with a problem, someone who is tech-savvy finds a solution or asks for help from someone who knows more. Someone who isn’t tech-savvy just throws up their hands and says they will do it the old, slow way…then curls up in a ball. 

Taking the time to learn new things can drastically help you quickly see the health of your business. Here are several examples:

  • CRM – This is the bare minimum and a must-have to track your clients and transactions. 
  • Accounting Software – This is a basic tool for knowing your income and tracking expenses.  You can’t know the health of your business without knowing your numbers.
  • Graphics – Even the most basic package or app can make your social media posts look better and draw more attention
  • Video – Understanding the basics of video and editing will help you create better home tours.
  • Excel – The world is about data and the data you need isn’t always in the format you need. Learning the basics of Excel will help you dig deeper and learn more
  • Shortcut keys. Learning the little things about how your computer works can make you faster in performing any task.  Control-C, X, V for copy, cut and paste is a minimum.  The options are endless.
  • Mouse – Using the trackpad on your laptop is more convenient when packing your bag for the coffee shop but a mouse can give you the extra flexibility to be quicker and get that job done.
  • Other – Password storage, notes, cloud storage, mileage tracking apps, etc. The sky is the limit to how technology can make you more efficient in your business.
